Volunteer for Kids Camp
Half Day Camp: July 10 - 14 | 9am - 12pm
Full Day Camp: July 17 - 21 | 9am - 3pm
We are so excited for the two weeks of our Vacation Bible School (VBS) day camp at Westside Church this summer and to see our kids discover a true lifelong relationship with Jesus each day!
We are looking for volunteers with all sorts – and we mean ALL sorts – of skills and experience to join our VBS day camp team. We will help you get equipped with the necessary training and a teaching kit, so you will be ready to dive in!
Here are 3 main teams and roles needed before/during/after the weeks of VBS:
1. Planning Team
This is a team who will meet up weeks in advance to brainstorm and modify daily structure & program, and/or help with any administrative tasks. This would be a great opportunity to serve if you are unable to help during the VBS weeks.
2. Set Team
This team will flip and transform the whole kids' area into a Bible-time village! This would be a great opportunity to serve if you are unable to help during the VBS weeks.
